unitymedia – wie man Probleme löst
Es sind noch keine zwei Jahre vergangen, seitdem ich umgestiegen bin. Von der Telekom, die mich unbedingt in einen neuen Vertrag umstellen wolle, dessen Vertrag habe ich auf ein Minimum an Internet-Volumen reduziert. Einfach als Backup. Weil meine Recherche zu unitymedia, auch unter Kollegen, teilweise unterschiedliche Rückmeldungen ergab. Von “absolut Top”, bis “mehrfache Abbrüche am Tag” war alles dabei. Da ich schon sehr lange vorher bei KabelBW Fernsehen im Haus liegenhatte und benutzte, war der Rest eigentlich kein Problem. Die KabelBW ist ja übergegangen in UnityMedia. Der Techniker kam, baute im Keller um, installierte die Connect Box (Router)und los. Und im ersten Jahr hatte ich auch keine Probleme. Dann aber ging es von ein auf den anderen Tag los.
Ich war nicht zufrieden mit der alten Connect Box, die mir vom Provider Unitymedia zur Verfügung gestellt hat. Immer, und immer wieder einfach keine Verbindung. Und nach einem Soft / oder Hardware-Reset lief‘s wieder. Dutzende von Anrufen, Austausch und Neueinstellung durch einen Techniker vor Ort, brachten keine Abhilfe. Die abenteuerlichen Maßnahmen wurden durchgeführt, die Connect-Box ausgetauscht. Keine Abhilfe. „Der Connect-Router darf so nicht stehen, er muss liegen“, „Wenn’s regnet , kann es schon mal zu Abbrüchen kommen, wenn draußen der Bus vorbeifährt“, das sind nur zwei von bestimmt einem Dutzend Sätzen, die ich vom Service-Personal vor Ort gehört habe. Geholfen hat keine Maßnahme. Das Ticket-System der unitymedia ist auch nicht das beste, weil ich jedes Mal die Angelegenheit erneut vortragen musste. Und dann erhielt ich von einem netten Mitarbeiter, der sich nur nach dem Vertrag erkundigen wollte, den Hinweis: Es doch mal mit einem anderen Router zu versuchen.
Während der Fehlersuche sind mir ein paar Dinge aufgefallen, die unitymedia verbessern muss:
Verkauf und Service müssen getrennt werden.
Die Identifizierung bei unitymedia bei einem Anruf erfolgt mit Telefonnummer und Geburtsdatum. Eigentlich nicht schlecht. Aber das System muss auch Laufen. Erst authentifizierst Du Dich und dann noch mal manuell, weil es wieder einmal nicht geht. Die nette Damen können vieles, jedoch keine Technik. Wenn man bereits ein Dutzend Mal angerufen hat, so muss der Ganze Standard nicht nochmals abgefragt werden. Dann sind wir ganz schnell bei den 3 Minuten und man möchte mich wieder loswerden. Zuhören können die Damen auch nicht. Es kann sich ja nur um ein Problem beim Kunden handeln.
Übergabe an Techniker
Beliebt ist auch die Übergabe an die ausgelagerte Technik. Das ist nur ein Knopfdruck, bringt aber nicht viel. Denn diese Subunternehmer wollen natürlich Geld verdienen. Und versuchen es zu jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit, mit dem Kunden einen Termin zu vereinbaren. Ich kann mich noch gut an einen Freitag Abend in Wien erinnern. Bei Speaker-Dinner zum SharePoint Saturday. Nachts um 21:30. Der Anruf, einen Termin zu bekommen. Die Techniker kommen. Pünktlich. Angekündigt per SMS. Sie haben von vielem eine Ahnung. Ab dem Hausanschluss. Aber das ist es auch. Dam Problem vor dem Hausanschluss kennt der Techniker nicht und kann es wahrscheinlich auch nicht lösen.
interne Weiterbildung
Vielleicht sollte man die internen Mitarbeiter auch mit den möglichen Problemen vor dem Hausanschluss sensibilisieren, denn dann hätte man allen Beteiligten viel Zeit ersparen können. Es kann nicht sein, dass der Kunde auf Recherche gehen muss.
Hier jetzt die Chronologie
|
30.06.19 |
Ich habe mir jetzt eine Fritz Box 6490 Cable bestellt. |
|
02.07.19 |
Heute wurde die Fritz Box geliefert. Kurz die angaben durchgelesen. Musste die Fritz-Box beim Anbieter unitymedia registrieren. MAC Adresse und Seriennummer durchgeben. Kann 2 Stunden dauern. Hat es aber nicht. Nach einer halben Stunde war es soweit. Der alte Connect-Router verlor sein Internet. Ab in den Keller, Alter Router raus, neuer Router rein. Konfiguration der Fritz Box, die gefühlter Maßen im erweiterten Modus 2000 Einstellungen hat: der Fritz Vox eine neue IP-Adresse zuweisen. Passwort ändern und WLan ausschalten. Per Kabel geht’s in das nächste Stockwerk und dort steht ein Neatgear Router, der das ganze Haus mit WLAN versorgt. |
|
03.07.19 |
Noch sind keine 24 Stunden vergangen. Bisher stabil. 413 Mbps down und 18,9 Mbps up. 2x heute langsames Internet. PING Zeiten normal. Latency zu lang. Seiten werden nicht geladen. Das zweite Mal beim 2. Halbfinale der Frauen erst gegen Ende der Spielzeit wieder normal. |
|
04.07.19 |
Heute morgen ist die Geschwindigkeit wieder „Normal“. 17:12; es geht wieder los. Erneut die gleichen Probleme. Keine Geschwindigkeit. https Probleme. TimeOut |
|
05.07.19 |
Im Internet gesurft. Dabei die Community von unityMedia entdeckt. Und da gibt es Personen, ähnlich den MVP bei Microsoft, die von der technischen Seite mehr wissen, als die Personen, die im Call-Center zu erreichen sind. Und dort gibt es Personen, deren Fall ähnlich gelagert ist. Und ja, bei der Fritz Box kann man dies auslesen. Der Abhilfevorschlag, Die Upload Geschwindigkeit zu verdoppeln (2,99 € im Monat) auf dann 40 Mbit wollte ich sowie so umsteigen. Aber auch die Option Dual-Stack, gibt es nicht auf der Internet-Seite. “Du wirst (sehr) wahrscheinlich einen DS-Light-Anschluss haben. Da ist es so, dass sich bis zu 60 Kunden eine IPv4-Adresse teilen. Es scheint so zu sein, dass es da wohl öfters Probleme mit dem AFTR gibt, der "verteilt" die IPv4-Adresse auf die Kunden” AFTR = Address Family Transition Router Wenn man sich so die Probleme anderer Benutzer ansieht, wird einem schnell klar, dass in der Community absolut abgeraten wird, sich telefonisch mit den netten Damen im Call-Center der unitymedia herumzuärgern. Ich habe es noch einmal versucht, aber der netten Dame war es nicht möglich, im Programm mir diese Optionen dazu zu buchen. Begründung: Dies wäre nur bei eigenen Routern möglich. Also dann doch auf die Facebook-Seite ausgewichen. Problem beschrieben. Danach die Aufforderung erhalten, in einer PM meine Kundennummer mitzuteilen. Das war Nachmittags. Und um 21:09 Uhr bekam ich dann die Mittteilung, das genau das gebucht wurde, was ich wollte. Würde morgen dann zur Verfügung stehen. Natürlich wird dieses Problem klein geschwiegen. Denn die IP4v-Adressen sind mittlerweile rar. |
|
06.07.19 |
Noch vor dem Frühstück die Fritz Box aufgerufen, aber da hatte sich nichts geändert. Eigentlich logisch, man muss ihm ja di neue Konfiguration mitteilen bzw. die Fritz Box wird dies dann selbst tun., wenn man Sie dazu auffordert. Und siehe da. Jetzt habe ich eine eigene ipV4 und ipV6. |
|
07.07.19 |
Heue ist Sonntag. Alles beim alten. Keine Probleme und schnelles Internet |
|
08.07.19 |
Erster Arbeitstag. Sieht gut aus. 432 Mbps down, 39,67 Mbps up |
|
09.07.19 |
Morgens, gleich nach dem Aufstehen, Speedtest und gleiche Werte wie am Vortag. |
[Update 13.07.19]
| 13.07.19 | nach der Umstellung auf ipV4/ipV6 ist die Fritz-Box 4690 eine Woche ohne Unterbrechung im Einsatz. so wie man sich das auch vorstellt. Kein Reboot, keine Unterbrechung. Und wie man der obigen Grafik entnehmen kann, durchgehend schnelles Internet. Die Umstellung auf feste IP-Adresse war genau das richtige. |
Zusammenfassung
Es kann nicht sein, dass der Kunde die Probleme selbst herausfindet. Und selbst dann noch abgewiesen wird. Wenn die Damen im Call-Center das als Anweisung vorliegen haben, werden die Probleme bei verschiedenen Kunden nicht aufhören. Dann muss unitymedia weitere AFTRs schalten, also investieren. Dem Kunden im Regen stehen zu lassen, ist jedoch das falsche Zeichen und absolut unprofessionell. Mein Dank an die Techniker, die sich hinter der Facebook Seite Unitymedia Hilfe, verbergen.
ich werde diesen Beitrag ab und an aktualisieren…

OneDrive GPO: Require users to confirm large delete operations
In mid-June 2018, I wrote about the new Group Policy and Definitions for OneDrive. I also reported on the missing documentation at Microsoft. This is especially about the group policy
Require users to confirm large delete operations
This group policy prevents users from "accidentally" deleting too many files, too many files are set in number, but Microsoft will make a correction on the web page, default is 200 files.
If Group Policy is enabled and the user accidentally deletes a folder with more than 200 files, he will be asked to confirm. Or he can make a restore with one click.
However, the fixed allocation of 200 files may not suit everyone. This is too little for one organization and too much for the other. And there is also a remedy here. (Currently you have to make a registry entry, I think that with a further update of the admx files the maximum number will be adjustable directly in the group policy.
So here is the registry hack:
Under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive insert a new entry
"LocalMassDeleteFileDeleteThreshold"=<dword>
Example, to set the bar at 100 files to trigger a mass delete warning.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive
"LocalMassDeleteFileDeleteThreshold"=dword:0064
You may insert a number between 1 and 100000, so the trigger works always or if you delete 100000 files.
Attention: Before you are working on the Registry, save it !
 |
We have to configure the Group Policy Require users to confirm large delete operations
Then we open the registry editor |
Here we have to insert the new key as mention above and then we have to insert the number. (The picture shows the number 10)
Then we have the opportunity to test the whole thing. (That’s why I only set 10 files.). Let’s create a folder and copy at least 10 files into it. The folder with all files is synchronized. Then we delete the folder.
 |
A short pop-up window appears and … you can react But in case you missed it… |
 |
You see the warning symbol in the notification area |
 |
and if you click on the OneDrive warning icon, OneDrive shows you, what you have to do. You have up to 7 days time to react
Remove The user acknowledge with a click on “Remove” and then the files will be deleted in the cloud and from all other synced devices Restore files if you click on Restore files OR if you do not react within 7 days the files are automatically restored If you have recycled your local bin, the data are restored from the cloud |
Accidental deletion is thus excluded. Of course you have to adjust the number of files to your own organizational structure (document libraries, folder structures, etc.). And, of course, it’s better to tell users not to delete the Cloud Only folder and the 60,000 files it contains. He does not take any space on the hard drive anyway.
OneDrive GPO: Benutzer müssen umfangr. Löschvorgänge bestätigen
Mitte Juni 2018 habe ich über die neuen Gruppenrichtlinien und Definitionen zu OneDrive geschrieben. Dabei habe ich auch über die fehlende Dokumentation bei Microsoft berichtet. Hier geht es ganz speziell um die Gruppenrichtlinie
Require users to confirm large delete operations
oder in deutscher Sprache
Benutzer müssen umfangreiche Löschvorgänge bestätigen
Diese Gruppenrichtlinie verhindert, dass Benutzer “"versehentlich” zu viele Dateien löschen. “Zu viele Dateien” ist festgelegt, was die Anzahl angeht. Microsoft wird aber auf der Webseite eine Korrektur vornehmen. Standard sind es 200 Dateien.
Wird die Gruppenrichtlinie aktiviert, und löscht der Anwender versehentlich einen Ordner mit mehr als 200 Dateien, so wird er aufgefordert, dass zu bestätigen. Oder aber er kann mit einem Klick eine Widerherstellung vornehmen.
Die feste Zuordnung von 200 Dateien mag jedoch nicht jedermann passen. Für die eine Organisation ist das zu wenig, für die andere viel zu viel. Und auch hier gibt es Abhilfe. (Derzeit muss man noch einen Registry-Eintrag vornehmen, ich denke dass bei einem weiteren Update der admx Dateien die maximale Anzahl direkt in der Gruppenrichtlinie einstellbar sein wird.
Unter
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive ist der Eintrag
"LocalMassDeleteFileDeleteThreshold"=<dword> vorzunehmen.
Und dann muss natürlich noch ein Wert eingetragen werden. Um den Wert auf 100 herunter zu setzen, ist folgender Eintrag einzugeben:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\OneDrive
"LocalMassDeleteFileDeleteThreshold"=dword:0064
Sie können Werte von 1 bis 100000 eingeben, also bei einem einzelnen Datei oder aber bei 100000 Dateien.
Hier darf der Hinweis nicht fehlen, vorher die Registry zu sichern ist.
 |
Zuerst konfigurieren wir die Gruppenrichtlinie Benutzer müssen umfangreiche Löschvorgänge bestätigen Anschließend rufen wir den Registrier-Editor auf |
Dort wird dann der Schlüssel, wie oben eingetragen und anschließen die Anzahl eingetragen.(In dieser Abbildung habe ich 10 vorgegeben)
Anschließend haben wir die Möglichkeit, das Ganze zu testen. (Deshalb habe ich nur 10 Dateien vorgegeben.). Erstellen wir also einen Ordner und kopieren wir mindestens 10 Dateien hinein. Dier Ordner mit allen Dateien wird synchronisiert. Dann löschen wir den Ordner. Ein kurzes Pop-up Fenster erscheint und…
 |
…in der Benachrichtigungszeile wird das OneDrive Icon jetzt mit einer Warnung angezeigt… |
 |
und mit einem auf das Icon Klick wird die Warnung angezeigt. Der Benutzer hat jetzt 7 Tage Zeit, zu reagieren.
Entfernen Er bestätigt mit “Entfernen” die Löschung und Dateien werden auch in der Cloud und allen weiteren Geräten entfernt. Dateien wiederherstellen nach 7 Tage ohne Reaktion werden die Dateien automatisch wiederhergestellt Die Dateien werden aus der Cloud wiederhergestellt, also den Papierkorb manuell zu leeren, löscht nicht die Dateien in der jeweiligen Bibliothek in der Cloud. |
Ein versehentliches Löschen ist somit ausgeschlossen. Natürlich muss man die Anzahl der Dateien an die eigene Organisationsstruktur (Dokumentenbibliotheken, Ordnerstrukturen, etc.) anpassen. Und natürlich ist es besser, die Benutzer darauf hinzuweisen, den Ordner mit dem Wolkensymbol (Cloud Only) und den darin enthaltenen 60.000 Dateien) nicht zu löschen. Er nimmt sowieso keinen Platz auf der Festplatte weg.
MVP Award 2019-2020
Seit 2013 in nicht unterbrochener Reihenfolge wurde ich von Microsoft mit dem MVP Award 2019-2020 ausgezeichnet. Die ersten 5 Auszeichnungen wurden jeweils im Januar vorgenommen. Danach wurde der Vorgang auf die Mitte des Kalenderjahres umgestellt.
Ich möchte mich nicht nur bei Microsoft bedanken, sondern auch bei meinem Arbeitgeber Bright Skies GmbH, ohne dessen Unterstützung vieles nicht möglich gewesen wäre.
Since 2013, in an uninterrupted order, I was honored by Microsoft with the MVP Award 2019-2020. The first 5 awards were made in January. Thereafter, the process was switched to the middle of the calendar year.
I would like to thank not only Microsoft, but also my employer Bright Skies GmbH, without whose support much would not have been possible.

Remarks about Version 17.3.6720.1207
This version is installed with the Windows 10 Insider Build 14986 or 14393. After theses releases Microsoft also has released this verion to other groups. There ois a issue with the US chnagelog website, becauuse Microsoft cut out the version 6705.1122 and replaced it with the version 17.3.6720.1207
Remarks about Version 17.3.6705.1122
You see in the Changelog, that this version is a released Version and a Public Preview with the same number. In the MAC Area you see, that there are two different versions. So for MAC User, they now have a separate Download Link, because Apple does not change the version, so there is still an old version there.
The difference with both versions
Both versions have the same functions, but the Preview has some more, but you have to do something manually to get the new functions from the Preview.
The Release Version now will be available to more users around the globe.
Preview
If you want to test the new functions of the Preview version, you have to read the following articles:
Transition from the previous OneDrive for Business sync client for SharePoint sites
This Microsoft Article will tell us, how we are able to switch from Groove.exe to Next Generation Sync client to sync data from Office 365 document libraries to local machnies. But also the restrictions.
Get started syncing SharePoint sites with the new OneDrive sync client – Preview
In this article, also from Microsoft, you see the manual steps, like to download and install a Registry-Key. You have to read this manual until the end, because there are some issues with the Internet Explorer.
Summary
You get some new features from the Preview version, if you do some manual steps. And this is the reason, why the Next Generation Sync Client is not global available. These manual steps must be automatically….
Remarks about Version 17.3.6674.1021
The Version 17.3.6674.1021 was first published as a preview version and now as a Released Version. This Version will work only with Office 365. And I advise you urgently, to read the following Microsoft Document. So with this Version you may sync data from
- OneDrive (Personal)
- OneDrive for Business
- Files in Document-Libraries at Team-Sites
- Files in Document-Libraries at Groups

Keep in mind, that the version 17.3.6674.1021 does not automatic changeover your old Groove.exe libraries.Also you have to install a registry Key, to sync from Groups and Team Sites. Again: Read the following Microsoft Document
[Note 11/29/16]
I received an Email form the Microsoft Product Group, regarding the different versions:
- The last full Released Version has the version number 0809
- Version 1021 is an Interim Update and Release
If you tenant is set on first Release, then you are able to use version 1021, to sync data from team sites. But you have to install the version manually and set the registry key. Do it with the Microsoft Document.
The next full version will come this year with a version number 11xx
To sync data with all SharePoint Server OnPremise (all Versions), you still have to use the old “Groove.exe”. Here is the Microsoft Download site for the 32- and 64 Bit Versions of the different Groove.exe.
